BEEF FAMINE PROBABLE.
Interesting Statistics as to the De
crease or the Cattle Product
His Ycpr Over ansi.

A Chicago dispatch of yesterday says:
The 1'ri6UHc this morning has long
article on the dressed-beei ring and
how it is profting by the low price Of
cattle. it says it Is assumed Ill many
quarters that beef famine is not far
away. Estimates as to the destruction
oAcattle in the Northwest last winter
are that in Montana there were about
400, 600 head, in Idaho about l0C, 200,
in Wyoming about 300, 900, in Colo
RADIO about $4,000, or $50, 900 head in
all. During the summer, on account
of the excessive drought, it is estimated
that the losses in the beef-producing
States-such as Illinois, Iowa, Ohio,
Missouri, Kansas, and i'll New Mexico,
Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Da-
kota- swell the total to 1900, 200 head
of beeves. Many, however, assert these
figures are far too high. But this is
not the main fact which
INDICATES A FUTURE FAMINE.
1t is now known that from so to 70
per cent. less of calves were born this
year than is usual, owing to climatic
causes, which must have its effect III
time. To this must be added the fact
that cattle-producers have been rush.
ing their surviving stock on the market
at an unparalleled rate, and that from
these and other causes many ranchmen
are discouraged and are going out of
business. Those who are opposed to
this view argue that there are still
28,O00,000 beeves and 13,000,0 900
milch.cows IN the country. The bulk
of these. however, enter into local con-
sumption and use. A great uneasiness,
such as never before characterized the
cattle business, is manifest in business
circles. The producer finds not dol
lar of profit, and more often heavy
losses charged against his account. The
market price has been low on account
of the glut. for i'll Chicago alone over
200, 600 head of cattle have been thrust
on the market in the last thirty days.
IN ORDER TO GET INFORMATION
on the cattle question fully 100 au-
thorities have been consulted, covering
the entire productive area, and the
views Of those men, together with the
facts obtained, are brought together.
Only the commission-man, with his
hands full OF business, seems happy.
The producer is pessimistic. The
stock-yards were never in state
